I would like to reach out to all of you with a peanut allergy that want to join the military, We need to take a stand and at least attempt to change these regulations that hold us back. Whether it be by writing the President, our congressmen, and military officials or by all of us, disregarding what we ve been told, all attempt to join so they can see just how many of us there are.

A little history of my relationship with the service, I have always wanted to serve my country. At 18 I left my college education at ABAC to attempt to join the US Navy after being told getting a waiver would be no issue only to be turned down after a three month process. If we all work together we can show that we deserve our right to serve,
